Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Medium red. Fresher, more perfumed nose than the Rio Sordo, with fruity cherry and strawberry notes complicated by rose petal. Sweet on entry, then stylish and bright, with less fat but more definition than the Rio Sordo. In the '97 vintage, I feel more confident with a wine with less breadth but better focus.
